I tried the recipe and it came out wonderful! However, my pork chops took a little longer to cook. I seared the chops on high heat and covered the pan turning the heat down to med-high heat. This resulted in the pork chops releasing their own juices. The sauce is good too. All in all a tasty dish, like I expect from Giada!

Very good & super easy. The vinegar was a bit strong but if you like balsamic, you'll appreciate the flavor. I made six pork chops so I doubled the galaze and had way too much, will not double next time (although I will save the extra for chicken as someone else suggested.

We seared the pork on the grill for 6 minutes each side; let rest tented for 5 minutes. I ended up putting the pork in the sauce pan for an additional 5 minutes to simmer in the sauce. Very tasty. Only used 2 Tbsp of butter in the end to mellow out the sauce. Served with roasted brussel sprouts (25 min; 450 degrees and roasted sweet potato wedges (40 min; 450 degrees.

I made this for my boyfriend after seeing Giada make it on TV, and it turned out so good! As other reviewers have said, my pork chops were a bit tough (my own fault in over cooking them, but the sauce is fantastic! The butter really mellows it out, and it's sweet and sour with a little kick. I added some additional red pepper flakes, as we both like the heat. Try this, it's so simple and delicious!

Love this recipe! I was skeptical at first because when I was tasting the sauce at the very end, it was really heavy on the vinegar. I was worried that the entire pork would taste like this, but after pouring it on, the sauce and the meat went very well together! So don't give up, try it all the way through and I think you'll be pleased. (Also, don't over-reduce the sauce because that will intensify the flavors, which may be why the first reviewer tasted too much vinegar and honey.

Made this last night; tasted really good. Will definitely make this again. Take note: the glaze is strong as it cooks but after you add the butter it mellows out. This meal is great for when you're not sure of what to make for dinner or are short on time to prepare something good.

These pork chops were delicious! I followed the directions exactly and they came out perfect. I heated the oil first then cooked the chops for 6 minutes on just under medium heat on each side and they came out juicy and wonderful and the sauce was so good I had to stop myself from eating it by itself. My boyfriend said they were the best pork chops he's ever had!

Fantastic! Everyone loved it! My chops were a bit tough, so I may try the brine next time, as someone suggested. My pork chops never turn out. I will definitely try this sauce on different cuts of meat. It was very tasty.

And yes it does thicken up as it sits. I put it on right away and it was thin(but still delicious. By the time we were done with dinner the glaze had thickened up nicely!

I thought this sauce was WAY too strong for such a mild meat. I know pork doesn't have much of a flavor of its own, but the glaze was overbearing! The only thing I tasted was the vinegar and honey (not something I would ever eat on it's own. Definitely won't make this one again.
